Pre-orders Of Microsoft’s Entry Level Surface Sell Out In Under 24 Hours

Microsoft out their new Surface tablet yesterday, the entry level version of the Microsoft Surface, which will retail for $499 has sold out in under 24 hours, and Microsoft are now showing the device shipping within three weeks.

Although Microsoft did state when they put the device up for pre-order that inventory would be limited initially, there are no details as yet how many tablets Microsoft made for pre-order.

yesterday we heard that Microsoft are rumored to be making between three and five million surface tablets before the end of the year, we wonder if demand for the surface will be high enough for Microsoft to sell that many tablets before the end of 2012.
